باایں ہمہ
Conceding a Point in Literary Prose
All that is true → even so, this also holds.
How It Works
This formal or literary connector refers back to the preceding situation as a whole. The writer acknowledges that situation while maintaining the next claim.
The two statements need not contradict each other. A project can be difficult and still be worth doing. The contrast lies in the expectation that difficulty would stop it.
You may encounter spelling with different spacing, including باایں ہمہ and بایں ہمہ. Recognize the expression as a unit. In everyday conversation, پھر بھی often expresses the intended contrast more directly.
